Forged Referral Wheels Waiting Room

[Lhshockey24]

I ordered the 22in forged referral wheels in October of 2018 and have not seen them show up to the service center yet. Multiple parts reps have checked but still see no updates.

Is anyone else in this same boat? I’m trying to figure out if these will ever show up.

I ordered mid Dec 2018. I’ve been back and forth with them for months, they recently advised me that the rims still have not arrived, but at least the TPMS for each rim has...

I predict mine will show up at the beginning of next winter season... when I won't want to put them on. <sigh>

I'm about a year out also - Tesla replied to me that they are back ordered. But I just started my local dealer making the inquiries now - no clue on this delay.

I ordered Jan 2019, folllowed up April 2019 still nothing. Went to sevicd center to check and emailed referral program.

I did run into a guy at the Dublin, CA service center a couple months ago taking delivery of his wheels. He said it had been over a year and smiled when he said "be patient, they'll eventually show up".

 

[CuriousM3]

Good to know, everything else on referral came within a decent timeframe, guess i will check back next year

A year out? I'll be in a new car by then.

How do they notify you? The service center will contact you?

Anyone got the wheels recently? I am in a long wait as well...

I selected my 22" referral wheels in the app on February 1st and was told 8-10 weeks by the customer service rep I was working with at the time. (I had issues with referral awards not showing up in the app, so the rep was helping me out.) He said to contact him if I didn't hear back from my service center after 10 weeks. I waited 12 weeks, then followed up again. This was the reply I received:

We have recently changed the way we are getting the wheels installed to make it a simpler process and a better experience for you. This process is now being managed by the service centers. All you need to do is schedule a service appointment through the app or through your online Tesla account to have the wheels installed. The service center will then make sure they have the wheels there for your appointment or will contact you if they need to reschedule. There is no need to wait to schedule, you can log in now and schedule your appointment so that we can get the wheels installed.

This was a few weeks ago. I have an appointment with my SC (made via the app) to have the wheels installed next month. We'll see if the wheels are actually there when I show up.

My wheels are finally in supposedly and I have an appt to have them installed on June 4th, can't wait!

The wheels can take over a year in some cases. That being said Tesla SC will actually bug you to pick them up/install when they do finally arrive. Most SC dont have space for them

If they are you just managed to skip the line by 20 weeks.

My Model X lease is over while waiting for the wheels ... Planning to order another X or S in couple months when/if they have the 'facelift'. Hope Tesla won't 'stole' my wheels saying I don't have my old Tesla anymore!

If it's any consolation, electrek [sp?] did an article onyou can see pictures on the delays & cars they were delivered to. 52Lbs - 54Lbs. Seems like a hefty wheel to be called performance. But, hey they're free.

Yup, the 22" Model X wheels are actually not forged. They are regular cast aluminum and are very, very heavy. I weighed a previous set at 37.6lbs front, 40.4lbs rear.

But they look awesome!

Make an appointment directly with your local service center. That's the new procedure for referral wheels.
I got my wheels installed in a week (from Fremont center)
